LOS ANGELES (KTLA) — City Councilman Bernard C. Parks said he will introduce a resolution on Tuesday asking the federal government to investigate the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Attorney General Eric Holder has criticized “stand your ground” laws and pledged a Justice Department investigation into the death of the Florida teen, who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in February 2012.

On July 13, a jury found Zimmerman to be not guilty in the incident, setting off a series of protests in cities nationwide, including Los Angeles.

Parks will ask the City Council to officially endorse Holder’s investigation, which would make Los Angeles the first city to do so.

Y r they so hung up on this kid. How about all the other blk kids in Chicago L.A etc? Wht their deaths weren’t worth as much as trayvons? I lost total interest once I found out this kid beat up a homeless person and a school bud driver. Notice how blk people always play victIm n throw down the race card.
